Reforms: make them, but also implement them. The Italian habit of getting lost in a myriad of measures, then forgetting to make them effective, strikes again. This was noted by Corriere della Sera, according to which as of 18 June, putting together the regulatory construction sites of the last three governments since November 2011 (therefore Monti, Letta and Renzi) the Government Program Office lacked the beauty of 812 implementing measures, without which the reforms that should energize the country remain on paper.
Of these measures, 133, 16%, are already from the Renzi executive (334 are from Monti out of 846 produced and 345 from Letta out of 457 enacted), which has been in office for four and a half months and has produced 33 regulations published in the Gazzetta official, only nine of which do not refer to second-level acts. An unequivocal sign of a concern that does not only concern Parliament, where the Chambers are now almost exclusively engaged in converting decrees and implementing delegations, but also the technical offices of the ministries, where these reforms often get bogged down, in some cases, by vetoes cross.
